Walk the ground where the Loyal Edmonton Regiment was born, and CFB Griesbach once called home.


The Griesbach Walk is a free, self-guided audio tour through the Village at Griesbach. Seven stops, about 2.5 km, a comfortable hour on foot. From the General on his horse to the poppies of Flanders Field, each stop pairs a monument with the real soldiers and stories behind it.

How it works: Start at Stop 1, press play, and walk.

At each marker, scan the QR code (or tap the link below) to hear the next chapter. Bring earbuds. Go at your own pace, any day you like.

  2. Patricia Lake & Park
  3. The Bailey Bridge
  4. Sanctuary Wood
  5. Bedford Basin & Navy Plaza
  6. Roundel Lake & Ad Astra

Help keep these stories alive!

Memory and Valour is a labour of love. Hours in the archives, reading multiple books, at the Loyal Edmonton Regiment Military Museum, and behind the microphone - all so that the people this city, and Canada, sent to war aren't forgotten.

I keep it free and ad-free because everyone deserves these stories, not just those who can pay for them.

If this walk meant something to you, please buy me a coffee! Your support goes straight back into the research and the recording behind every story.

Thank you for walking with me, and for helping to keep history alive. Where memory endures, valour lives on.
